live from the kgo-tv broadcast center this is abc7 news. more protesters making noise and causing problems during the only commute forcing the agency to delay rides for thousands of passengers and shutting down stations. demonstrators showed up in huge numbers as promised this morning to protest everything from police brutality to bart fares. there were a few arrests. amy hollyfield is at the montgomery station where it started. is it back to normal? >> yes, it impacted service if 2 enough hours but at 9:30 they

were able to restore service to normal. protesters took their message to the bart system creating a confusing and slow and noisy commute. the noise came from the banging of spoons on trains and metal pillars. it was so loud you could not hear the person next to you talking. >> there was in way to use noise as a disruption to draw attention to the reaction. >> they drew attention by blocking doors and stalling the trains. police pulled people out of the doors so the trains could move. they arrested a woman for standing in the door and a man for banging his spoon on the windows of the bart train. >> dangerous. the glass could shatter and someone is sitting there in the train and someone will get hurt. >> this action was spread out between montgomery and powell and embarcadero. bart at different times ordered trains to keep roll and not stop at those stations.

organizers considered this a success. >> we were able to disrupt business as usual and i like that. >> they protested the arrest of 14 people who chained themselves together at a previous bart protest and they want the charges dropped. this morning, group won over some commuters and last others. this wheelchair bound woman was frustrated at not being able to get off. >> i natural a wheelchair and have in other way to get around. >> she missed her doctor's appointment and decided to come back and support the protesters. this man was frustrated with the group. >> you have to speak your mind and do what we have to do but this is noisy and i just went to get to work and now i am late because they stopped the train. >> bart says service was not shut down and trains were running. they bypass add few stations

cheer there and officials say they had to balance freedom of speech with public safety. they say this are no reports of any injuries. thank you amy. the demonstrators did have an affect on the morning commute and eric thomas joins us in san francisco with reaction and the impact on ridership. as you are saying it had a big impact 24,000 fewer commuters took bart this morning and that of course, means they did not take the trains and some probably stayed home and others took to the freeways putting extra cars out there so we heard stories of traffic jams being larger and taking longer to get in. the ferries we hear, were packed this morning. those that could took them anyway. whatever mode they used, many were late. >> i have to find another way to get where i am going but that is okay. how do you change anything

unless you make people pay attention? >> it is inconvenient. i got up remainly to get to work early and i will an an hour late. >> i am here just for a meeting on my day off. i have to go three blocks out of my three city blocks to get to another bart station why not just get on here? that is the range of emotions you heard from people, some very angry about not being able to get to rock on time or the way they are used to doing it and others saying yes, i was inconvenienced but you protest about things you believe in and that is important. we will see how the afternoon commute goes. we will watch all day long for you. i am outside the ferry building in san francisco i am eric thomas. >> traffic reporter leyla gulen joins us with a look at the commute. >> 51 bart trains are on time and no closings as amy

hollyfield reported. the bay bridge some in anticipation of this took to the cars and you can see how busy it is coming in from the east by. we will go around the bay area and see how other areas of looking. that is the drive from berkeley to the maze and it is still looking quite slow. if you took a round about way say the richmond-san rafael bridge, that is empty but the north bay business as usual. >> a separate group of protesters showed up in oakland, and activists for civil rights are blocking entrances an the federal building. we are there with what is happening. nick? >> kristen, the goal was to draw attention to what they say is mistreatment of black and brown people they simply wanted to disrupt service. they plan to do this for four hours and 28 minutes and they are on their goal. >> take a look. this is the view from sky 7.

we were this when more than 100 demonstrators chained themselves to the entrances of the federal building in oakland. other members of the group danced chanted and said prayers. demonstrators say today's action is about reclaiming the legacy of dr. martin luther king jr. >> the truth is, he believed in nonviolent direct action and we will see that on both sides of the bridge for 96 hours. >> organizers are planning demonstrations throughout the holiday weekend. >> this group claims -- claimed the area just after 6:00 this morning with demonstrators not the only one making their presence then. protective service police kept their distance but also kept a watchful eye. >> our mantra is "block stuff not break stuff." demonstrators say the actions target the firm building because of what they call the roll in promoting a war on black people.

with north side showing any sign of backing down, demonstrators could be settling in for the long hall. caught in the middle? people simply wanting to get where they are going without being delayed. demonstrators warned, frustrated with their actions or not anyone in and around the bay area should be prepared to have a spontaneous demonstration ham anywhere at any time. >> we have asked four 450 years to be treated like human beings nicely and prayed. we have marched. we have sung. if you don't like us now we have asked to not be treated like an animals. that is your problem. >> this has been peaceful and there have been no arrests. at the dellums building. >> with more protests planned this weekend our reporting will continue on the abc news app and the facebook page and on twitter

overnight through tomorrow, they dissipate and you can see the sun coming out. here comes our next system sunday morning into the early afternoon hours it also dissipated. here is the clearing line for the holiday on monday which will bring us more sunshine and warmer weather. the low clouds over lake tahoe. but other than a slight chance today, temperatures are running above average and they will have to make the snow. mother nature is not going to provide it. the seven-day forecast shows low-to-mid secretary on monday as we round out the holiday weekend and mid-60's with more sunshine next week. just very unfortunate that storm system the 27th and 28th doesn't pan out we hitting in in many areas. hoping for a good year after three bad years. >> a pizza guy is learning there is a lot of compassion in the world after having a nightmare experience on the job. it started from this video of employees at a massachusetts car dealership getting into a heated argument with the delivery guy over a $7 tip he thought was his to keep.
